Wireless Keyboard Touchpad Combo

Last week I decided I was tired of futzing around with unplugging my mouse and keyboard from my desktop and plugging them into the Pi when I needed to test something in a local console. SSH and VNC works for 99% of the instances out there, but sometimes, you just gotta run something on the frambuffer!

My coworker let me try out his Logitech Wireless Keyboard combo that came with a GoogleTV, and it worked really well. The price is around $40 and if you want a decent sized keyboard, you should look at picking one up. I decided to go for something cheaper and smaller. The link below goes to Amazon, and it’s the keyboard mouse combo i’m using currently. It’s great. I recommend it. You also get a laser pointer built in if you want to annoy your cat 🙂

Let me know if you have found any good input devices for the Pi!

Update:

Just in case anyone was curious, here is the link to the Logitech Wireless Mouse Keyboard Combo. If you want something with larger keys, this is a great choice.
